Golden Blue




This is a simple crumble design along the neck. I embellished this design with bits of freshwater pearls in Gold & Bronze. I added a 'pendant' like design on the end of the neckline. So this design kinda look like a beautiful necklace.


Enjoy looking at the photos ;)

Midnight Blue



The rich blue colour of this kebaya screams 'Royalty' to me ;). I added highlights to the kerawang of the kebaya in the colour of rich, white gold. I also embellished this kebaya with bits of aquamarine. These colours were inspired by a beautiful ring (photo below).

The Look #4: A Lil' Bit of Sunshine


Yes, it's always sunny in Malaysia.... but not lately, it has been raining a lot more than usual. Typically our rainy season ends in Feb/Mar. However, I still find myself sitting at home waiting for the rain to subside so I can put on my running shoes and sweat some calories off ;)

The Look #3: Baby Crumble - Romantica


The soft Pink and Brown colours are very romantic. That is why I added the pearls into the design (Sweet Baby Crumble). For me, pearls somehow bring in mind the soft, demur, romantic girl.

I am loving the pink leather high heeled platforms by L.A.M.B. It is very sexy and sweet at the same time.

Plus, on the edge on the neckline & hands, I embroidered the manik beriring.

The Looks #1: Silver Star


Baju Kurung is an elegant and sweet dress worn by Malaysian women not only when attending formal and ceremonial occasions, but also for the office and everyday wear.

Besides the Baju Kurung's elegance and simple beauty, it's loose fitting design makes it very comfortable to wear in the hot humid weather in Malaysia.

I am planning to start putting together looks for the garments that I hand embroidered with beads. I am starting the first one with this Silver Star Look. I absolutely love silver accessories because I think it glams up any attire.

4. Badgley Mischka Dylan - Ankle strap shoes
